Spring has already sprung but it isn't too late to join a local community garden. Here are two ways to sign up for a piece of soil or just become a member....

THE SUMMIT STREET COMMUNITY GARDEN

According to their bulletin board the next meeting and work day is Sunday June 9th at 11am and their meeting poster says that anyone wishing to be a member can attend the meeting and sign up on the spot afterwards. Here are links to their blog and facebook page.

THE BACKYARD COMMUNITY GARDEN

The Backyard Community Garden is actively soliciting for new members for empty plots. Members requirements and sign up info can be requested currently from Tom Kerr (347) 661-9728 - Garden membership coordinator. One of their members has set up a lovely blog and they hope to increase membership this year.

We truly have so much green space in this neighborhood compared to other parts of NYC - so get out there and 

ENJOY!!
